My good friend Archerhouse, who was responsible for the LIVE trial diaries last May during the election contest lawsuit here in WA, wrote a diary this morning entitled:
It's Not Bush's Fault: Wingnuts Defend the Administration on Katrina.
He crossposted it to our own blog, the Northwest Progressive Institute Official Blog, which both he and I write for, among others. (He would have diaried this response, but because we're at 1 A Day right now he asked me to. I have not used mine yet).
Well, it seems the local wingnuts have taken notice. This appeared at the top of one of their sites, our local Drudge imitator:
FEELING THE LOVE:
NPI RESPONSE TO ORBUSMAX, NW CONSERVATIVES: "Locally, we have our own crew of wingnuts who are playing defense... It's good to see the administration's lapdogs against the wall for a change..."
CROSS-POSTED AT DAILY CHAOS...
ORBUSMAX TO NPI: THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING MY POINTS FOR ME... BY THE WAY, HOW'S YOUR WEB TRAFFIC?
More of their response below the fold....
We have some interesting comments in our comment thread, thanks to the links. A sample:
WmScott: I am glad to see you lefties continue to insist that the Federal Government is responsible for everything. Democrat controlled state and local governments are certainly not to blame.
If only the Republicans (Bush) had ordered all those incompetent state and local Democrats to do their jobs instead of standing around wringing their hands and crying, "if only George Bush would tell us what to do"!
What we have is a failure to understand who failed to do what needed to be done.

P Scott Cummins: How about answering the question you quote me asking, or is that too much to ask? I did not insult you, demean your opinions, or call you names. Can you engage in political discourse without sounding like a conversation in a middle school hallway? For the record, I also said this: "Those that wish to criticize would be advised to roll up their sleeves and help out. There will be plenty of time for talking later. For sure we should learn the lessons... but petty, bitter acrimony will only hurt you in the end - not Bush..."

IDGAF: "I do know one thing: it's good to see the administration's lapdogs against the wall for a change".
Nahhh. You at NPI have me on the floor laughing! Laughing at your continued delussional, idiotic, uninformed, unintelligent attempt to place blame of the travesty that followed a disaster on GWB. It is so funny because you so-called "progressives" are so completely void of ideas, solutions, plans, rational arguments or even a single candidate who posses any of these things, that you would stoop to this level of evaluating something that not a one of you are even remotely qualified to do. You are yet once again expediting the implosion of liberalism and the irrelevance of the modern day Democratic party
Seems that archerhouse touched a raw nerve with that post - oh dear. This was the update he added to his original post:

UPDATE: Hello, Orbusmax visitors! Hope you enjoyed the commentary. I was surprised to get the link after reading this:
What I have decided to do is rather than get mad or start launching a war of words with people that are simply exposing their pure hatred of the President, I am going to focus even more on linking and posting "the other side of the story", and make sure that ALL information regarding recent current events is made available.
Not engage in a war of words? Focus even more on the "other side of the story"? Well, it seems you've failed already.
By the way, web traffic looks pretty good.

I guess we here at "Daily Chaos" are more effective than we thought! Isn't it interesting how they tell us we need to answer their questions, but they won't answer ours? Like archerhouse said, no accountability or responsibility unless a Democrat is in office. In that case, pile on.
This is the thread link, if you want to read more.
